Segment Intending

It’s been awhile since I heard of the concept of segment intending. I first remember reading about it when I read The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks. Most people today seem to have heard of the law of attraction, whether they believe it or not. Basically the law of attraction says that whatever we think about, combined with emotion, we bring into our lives. It doesn’t matter if it is good or bad. If we concentrate on it long enough it will make its appearance.

Segment intending can help you put the law of attraction to work for you. I personally think it is an easier way to keep our thoughts on things we want and off things we don’t want.

We have over 50,000 thoughts a day. How in the world could we ever keep track of those thoughts? We can’t. But we can let our emotions guide us. Stop and notice your feelings. What are you feeling right now? If you are feeling good then you can be assured good things are coming. Are you feeling bad? Then you might want to do something to change that.

Segment intending can help. It helps you from becoming overwhelmed. We don’t have to deal with all 50,000 thoughts. We can break our day up into segments and deal with each segment one at a time. It helps us to become more present and enter the NOW.

Our daily lives can be broken into many segments. For example you awake in the morning, you shower, you get dressed, you have breakfast, you brush your teeth, you drive to work, etc…

Segment intending involves becoming aware of these segments and knowing when you are entering into a new segment. As you enter a new segment become aware of how you feel and what you want from this segment in your life. Some may be simple such as brushing your teeth, others may be harder such as dealing with something at work.

Be diligent. Stay aware of each segment. Perhaps some segments are not as you would like them to be. Use that moment to focus your thoughts on how you want it to be. Picture it vividly in your mind. Feel the positive emotions of having this segment manifest itself to your liking. What you will be doing is paving the way for future segments. Future segments you have created.

Try this for just one month and you will be surprised at the outcome. An incredible life is out there just waiting for you to create.
